How's my compression?
 
Stock b16a with 93k miles:

cylinder 1: 181
cylinder 2: 185
cylinder 3: 195
cylinder 4: 195

*Don't know why cylinder 1 is so much lower than 3 and 4.

thats not too bad. did you check it again after adding a few drops of motor oil to each cylinder? if its considerably higher, then it shows worn rings as the oil will help seal them.

RE: How's my compression?
 
What would be considered normal compression for a stock b16a? I'll probably test again soon. Is there anything I didnt do right? Here's what I did:
engine was warm, pulled the 15a fuse for f/i and the 15a fuse for the ecu, removed all plugs, cranked engine 6-7 times.
If I can get better compression on the next test, I will probably keep my civic otherwise I may sell it and get either a gsr, prelude or rsx-type s.
